    more backdoor fun

    https://siliconangle.com/blog/2017/0...r-credentials/

    so m$ just happens to have a file-format that is executed on discovery, and google has a broswer that *purely by coincidence* /sarc happens to download it without any notification or dialog boxes!!!

    time to "drain the swamp 2.0" i think!!

      Re: more backdoor fun

      How is a chrome issue? Great aunt Sally would download a file name "cat_pic.png.scf", Why? because Windows hides the true extension .scf, while Great aunt Sally sees cat_pic.png and thinks "Oh, it's a picture! Ok, Download"

      I put the blame square on Microsoft. Bloody hell... Welcome to autorun 2.0, Fucked edition!

      You must have a sad, sad boring life if you hate on people harmlessly enjoying life with an animal costume.

      Sometimes you need to break shit to fix it.... Thats why my lawnmower doesn't have a deadman switch or engine brake anymore

          That looks so Outlookesque! Just like the late-1990s and early-2000s all over again...

              You know that extension thing, it's all Macintosh fault. MacOS the filetype is part of the directory entry and M$ is trying to emulate it... and "breaking" tradition causing ridiculous problems. I wish M$ never thought about hiding extensions...

              and yes I prefer file "types" to be part of the filename and not some hidden attribute ("fork?!?!") that requires some weird tool to change... I indeed despise MacOS for this "feature"...

                  because a browser should only download files to it's temporary cache folder unless requested by the user.

                      Dell Precision 5540 - Absolute / Computrace permanently enabled. Need bios fix to disable
                      by Mr.Ultimate
                      Hi, I have Dell precision 5540 laptop from old workplace,decommissioned old stock. its a good spec laptop i9-9880H etc, so I decided to keep it and use it for personal purposes.
                      I was checking bios settings and I found that Absolute (Computrace) is permanently enabled/activated, and field is grayed out, unable to change it to disabled/deactivated state. The laptop status is clean, absolute has no any warnings or messages booting pre-bios pre-OS or post booting, while using laptop, im just not feeling safe having absolute permanently enabled having backdoor on a bios level enabled to my...

                      Panasonic Lets Note CF-SX4 AMI BIOS Password Needed
                      by jojo9092
                      Hello, I have a Japanese exclusive CF-SX4 with intel i5 that has bios password.
                      I have tried removing cmos but BIOS password is stored in flash chip. I did see someone has posted a BIOS for it but they have a 16mb chip. Mine came with a 8mb chip. The chip is 25q64FV and have dumped and verified it. None of the backdoor master codes work for it.

                      Please have a look, and if you do manage to recover or clean the password, I will be very grateful, I also would like to learn how you did clean/recover it.

                      I have tried blanking out the bytes after AMITSESETUP or trying...

                      Questions Concerning BIOS T460s Passwords
                      by poisonite
                      Hi there, Firstly thanks for reading, I've been searching through various threads and videos across the internet for the last little while and I was hoping that the wonderful folks here could help me answer some lingering questions I've got.

                      So I have several laptops with BIOS passwords that I'm unable to remove conventionally (no good boot drive and backdoor password doesn't exist) like my Lenovo T460s for example. I've been looking into possibly flashing a clean version of the BIOS firmware from a machine that doesn't have a password (most likely one found here on the forums or...

                      Marantz 2238b deep cleaning question
                      by jwillifixit
                      I came across this little gem yesterday and need some advice on "cleaning" it. Now when I say cleaning I don't mean that the pots are a bit dusty... no - this thing appears to have spent it's 30 years of life on the edge (or partially in) a swamp and the resident frog population had a 3 pack a day habit!

                      It's BAD

                      I've read that the PC guys will sometimes take the really bad motherboards and literally spray them down with Mean Green cleaner and then do a hot water spray rinse letting them air dry in front of a fan overnight.
